#2The public doesn't take this stuff seriously enough.
Did we not learn the lesson about rogue AI from Terminator™?

I think the better question is: Should we really be taking real-life advice from cheesy action movies?

Now my question is: who programmed the rogue AI? We should be even more afraid of him. /s

A fair question, but Terminator™ is germane to the subject matter.
No it is not. It is a movie made for entertainment. We are in reality.
It really irks me how much debate and decision-making in technology is based on bias gained from mindless entertainment and not from anything based in reality.
(I am not besmirching the good name of Terminator, that movie is a true classic)

#8Manufactured products are generally safe because the economic costs of shipping unsafe products is too high. Legal fees, litigation, products liability insurance, judgement costs, UL certifications, OSHA compliance and inspection costs, etc. It took several generations for the risks to be understood and for politicians to succumb to public pressure and enact product safety / tort legislation.
It would be nice for Congress to get in front of this issue and legislate penalties for unsafe AI. It would be nice for the debate to simply begin. But, products liability as a guide, it will be several highly publicized incidents before meaningful protections are enacted. We're still waiting for meaningful privacy legislation, after many information breaches, and there has been little progress.
Its one thing for Musk to warn of the dangers of AI, its another for he and like minded folks to fund a lobby to advocate for protective legislation.

#9AI is just a model. Dangerous are humans with harmful models.

Star Trek gadgets become real for example. I don't see any impossible thing about building an IRL terminator. Maybe not with today's technology, but conceptually we already have most of the things, they are just slow, power hungry and inefficient now. You don't need a CS degree to guess that speed, power consumption and efficiency will improve over time.
